Death Wish 3 (1985)

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is the Empire Strikes Back of the Death Wish saga. A tour de force of violence starring one of the best action stars and mustaches of all time Charles Bronson. It's the most violent of the bunch, giving Charlie plenty of opportunity to do what he is best at: murder everyone that gets in his way. This is basically Commando but in New York which looks like an anarchistic wasteland where law has failed completely. As a huge fan of ridiculous 80s action this ranks near the top with the best of them and it is the best straight-up action movie that Charlie ever made (I am not including more dramatic movies like Once Upon a Time in the West). I think all the Death Wish movies should be watched in the sequence that they were released in, in order to get the full story and understand all the nuanced character development but if someone was only going to ever watch one then it has to be Death Wish 3.

Of the in excess of 160 reviews of 'DW3', all seemingly cover any aspect or description of this film that anybody could offer. It is ridiculously compelling, utterly bereft of commendable plot, characterisation, script or credibility - it is a must see film that must be watched with a complete absence of plausibility and a mind shot through with as many holes as those delivered to the countless victims by weapons which must be the envy of any country's armed forces. A masterpiece of banality not to be missed.

From a cult classic to a rather good follow up to this part which is ridiculous. I have nothing against a franchise but this one here we do all know that it goes terrible wrong from part 3It's like Nightmare On Elm Street were Freddy was creepy but became funny throughout the franchise. Paul Kersey (Bronson) is back but this time his revenge becomes over the top with all ammunition you can think he do uses it. And the police asking him for help to kill the gang isn't believable at all. But part 3 did remind me of Harry Brown (2009). It's exactly the same story but believable.Gore 0/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Death Wish 3 (1985) 92 minutes 18 - for graphic violence and a sexual scene Plot - Architect/vigilante Paul Kersey arrives back in New York City and is forcibly recruited by a crooked police detective to fight street crime caused by a large gang terrorizing the neighbourhood's. I think I can almost stop right there when discussing this film whichis a definitive improvement over the previous film death wish 2 which exploitative garbage at its worst this isn't a great movie either but there's a lot more depth to the story and generally serviceable performances buy the cast especially Charles Bronson who is suitably adequate as the title character Paul kersey and Ed lauther as a grumpy no-nonsense police officer who assists kersey in battling the street gang who lead by suitably terrifying maniac played by Gavan O'Herlihy as manny Faker and preposterous but fun choreographed action scenes especially the heart wrenching finale which left me on the very edge of my seat until the very end . so overall if you were put off by the rancid sequel that was death wish 2 give it a chance its a no brainier picture to be sure but its a fun and entertaining way to spend 90 minutes .
